Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Who are you talking about?
Kiffin? Fired by raiders, Fired by USC
Dooley? Losing record at that jr high we got him from.
Butch? Took over winning teams from previous HC and didn’t stay long enough to prove he could sustain it, and nothing close to SEC level.
Pruitt? Most risk of any , 0 HC experience ever.
So I ask again, who are these that have been so successful elsewhere that you refer to??

I guess Butch was the main guy I was thinking of. And didn’t Dooley have a good record at La Tech?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I have zero confidence in the admin pulling off (a) a good hire or (b) whatever hire properly filling out his staff if a change is actually made in January.

 

[Vfl2407]

Yep:
Step 1: hire a good coach
Step 2: stay out of their business except for supplying them with bagmen and .

Excuses...

Apparently some booster had to step in because the AD was willing to let Barnes walk. SMH.

You filthy morans have a Merry Christmas and be safe out there! Just drove from Dayton, TN to Kingsport and it was a rough
drive in the snow.

Watching the Bryan Harsin press conference. Envious. Could've been on Rocky Top.

Slow your roll. It’s the honeymoon period for Auburn.

 

[Devo182]

Bartoo thinks Tennessee should hire Napier.

Siap

His service graded Pruitt an F+ as an HC. Chaney is graded a C.

Napier would be a solid hire imo, certainly MUCH better than F+!

 

[VFLBerg]

I guess Butch was the main guy I was thinking of. And didn’t Dooley have a good record at La Tech?

No. Dooley was 17-20 there. Only one winning season out of three.

 

[Devo182]

Also explains his interest in Steele.

His final 3 were defensive coordinators. Now we have a DC with a stereotypically "defensive HC" conservative offense in the greatest era of offensive football of all-time. Smh

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

No. Dooley was 17-20 there. Only one winning season out of three.

So why did they hire him? Was it Hamilton?

 

[The Dog]

Merry Christmas, I love VN and all u all

Maybe I'll throw a snow ball at you later because I'm up here also

Panic hire by Hamilton.

Napiers team plays at 3:30 on Dec 26.
Freeze vs Chadwell at noon on Dec 26.
Id be happy with any of those three over Pruitt.

Alabama has also completely ruined CFB. I can't stand the CFB playoffs... Clemson, Bama, Ohio State, OK/UGA, Clemson, Bama, Ohio State, OK/UGA... rinse and repeat. Last year was a fluke. Something BADLY needs to be done to level the playing field

Minus Saban and maybe Riley, who are fine coaches in my opinion, these are all teams who have superb staffs and recruit lights out. It is 90% the Jimmy’s and Joe’s.
Dabo is a car salesman with a stellar staff. Les Miles chewed on grass while his assistants coached the team. Get top talent and get out of the way of your assistants so they can do their job. That’s the formula for success, nothing too complicated

 

[Devo182]

No. Dooley was 17-20 there. Only one winning season out of three.

Still the worst hire in modern P5 football and it isn't close. Those dumb***** that hired Dooley should be taken to the public square. Just ridiculous. A 5 year old with basic reading and math skills could have made a better hire.

"4-8 at La Tech...he's our man!" Wtf.....

Is this insider Bob Vols from TOS? He’s saying we def make a change?

 

[Orange Studs]

Yeah, I've heard a side effect is severe delirium.

Ok ok that's a good come back LOL

 

[VOLSONLY]

Merry Christmas Vol Nation, I appreciate y’all. This place is a outlet for me

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

I've come to the conclusion that if a change is made this year Freeze is a definite no go. Especially if Fulmer is still AD. If that's the case I'm all in on Napier. Marrone as a dark horse although most fans would be quite unhappy with that hire.

 

[Batman1948]

So are we all turning on Fulmer in here?

Looks like it. AV has been talking about him so everyone jumped on again. If it's true that Fulmer is standing his ground with certain boosters, I could see why stories are coming out from them. Fanning the fan flames when they kinda died down tonight.
